Yarra Bend Lunatic Asylum site & gatepost (includes Asylum Gate Pillar, Remnant Trees), YARRA BEND PARK - Physical Description 1
All that remains above ground level, of the original site of the Fairlea Women's Prison, is a gate pillar, which has been relocated to a site opposite the original entry to Fairlea and outside the original boundaries. The pillar probably dates from c.1860. It is a square bluestone block structure, approximately five metres high with a tapered plinth. It has a capital over rectangular corbels and a string course to all four faces. A plaque fixed to the column gives a very brief summary of the history of Fairlea.
